2019-11-15dm integrity: fix excessive alignment of metadata runsMikulas Patocka
Metadata runs are supposed to be aligned on 4k boundary (so that they work efficiently with disks with 4k sectors). However, there was a programming bug that makes them aligned on 128k boundary instead. The unused space is wasted. Fix this bug by providing a proper 4k alignment. In order to keep existing volumes working, we introduce a new flag SB_FLAG_FIXED_PADDING - when the flag is clear, we calculate the padding the old way. In order to make sure that the old version cannot mount the volume created by the new version, we increase superblock version to 4. Also in order to not break with old integritysetup, we fix alignment only if the parameter "fix_padding" is present when formatting the device.
